Do you live in Sydney's eastern suburbs? Do you want safer, quieter, and more attractive streets, where people riding bicycles can get around safely and easily? BIKEast is the bicycle user group (BUG) representing people on bicycles in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, stretching from South Head to La Perouse and west to the fringes of Sydney's CBD, Redfern, Green Square and Mascot. This area covers Woollahra, Waverley, Randwick and Bayside councils. We lobby local councils, the State Government, and the Transport agencies to provide better conditions for active travel. Our vision is for a high-quality, connected network of safe, convenient and visible bike routes accessed via bike-friendly (low speed) neighbourhood served by well-designed local bike routes. Attend a meeting if you want to get involved and help achieve this vision, or if you just want to find out who we are and what we do. Everyone is welcome and every little bit of support helps! ==================== August is our AGM Invitation to nominate All positions will be declared as vacated at commencement of the 2025 AGM.
